Right from the start, you know that you're indeed dealing with a neutral atom, since the number of protons it has in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons it has surrounding its nucleus.
Now, an atom's atomic number,
Z
, tells you how many protons it has in its nucleus. Nothing more, nothing less.
In your case, you are told that the atom contains
16
protons in its nucleus, which means that
Z
will be equal to
Z
=
16
A quick look in the periodic table will reveal that you're dealing with an atom of sulfur,
S

, tells you how many protons and neutrons it contains in its nucleus. Since the number of protons is given by
Z
, you can say that

why would an atom have zero charge
Answer:
The overall charge of an atom is zero. ... The charge from a proton or electron are of equal strength, therefore if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it will be electrically neutral. However, atoms are not always electrically neutral, in which case they are called ions.

a patient is prescribed tigan capsules for vomiting. The drug is available in the form of 300.0 mg tigan/capsules ,and is administered in 4.0 doses/day of 1 capsule/dose. How many g Tigan does the patient recieve in 2.0 days?
The patient recieves 2.4 g Tigan in 2 days
Further explanationIn finding the conversion units, we can multiply and eliminate the same units so that we can get the desired quantity or unit.
In this case, it is expected that the number of Tigan is known in 2 days, so we just need to multiply the numbers that are known
[tex]\tt =300\dfrac{mg}{capsules}\times \dfrac{1~capsules}{dose}\times 4.0\dfrac{doses}{day}\times 2.0~days\\\\=300\times 1\times 4.0\times 2.0~mg=2400~mg=\boxed{\bold{2.4~g}}[/tex]
A student accidentally left a bottle of ammonia unclosed in the corner of a laboratory
After a few minutes the entire laboratory smelled of ammonia.
Which process has occurred?
A
Brownian motion
B
Diffusion
с
Evaporation
D
Distillation
Answer:
Evaporation
Explanation:
because the ammonia is left unclosed
The smell of ammonia has been spread from a corner to entire room by the process of diffusion. Thus, option B is correct.
Ammonia has been the liquid compound with the formula [tex]\rm NH_4[/tex]. It has a pungent smell. Ammonia has been used in several synthesis reactions, and in various industrial processes.
The diffusion has been the process of transfer of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration. The smell of ammonia has been spread in the entire laboratory from a corner.
The ammonia molecules in the bottle are at higher concentration while there has been lower concentration of ammonia in the environment. With the process of diffusion there has been the transfer of ammonia molecules in the environment.
Thus, diffusion has been responsible for spreading the smell of ammonia in the laboratory from a corner. Thus, option B is correct.

If an astronomer was to look through a telescope and notice that a star's emitted light had a slightly red tint to it, compared to what the emitted light should be. What would that mean about that star?
Answer:
In the chapters that follow, we will provide the temperature of the stars we are describing, and this section tells you how those temperatures are determined from the colors of light the stars give off. Hubble Space Telescope image of the Sagittarius Star Cloud. The image shows many stars of various colors, white, blue, red and yellow spread over a black background. The most common star colors in this image are red and yellow. Figure 1: Sagittarius Star Cloud. This image, which was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows stars in the direction toward the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The bright stars glitter like colored jewels on a black velvet background. The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue-white stars are much hotter than the Sun, whereas red stars are cooler. On average, the stars in this field are at a distance of about 25,000 light-years (which means it takes light 25,000 years to traverse the distance from them to us) and the width of the field is about 13.3 light-years. (credit: Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI/NASA))
Color and Temperature
As we learned in The Electromagnetic Spectrum section, Wien’s law relates stellar color to stellar temperature. Blue colors dominate the visible light output of very hot stars (with much additional radiation in the ultraviolet). On the other hand, cool stars emit most of their visible light energy at red wavelengths (with more radiation coming off in the infrared) (Table 1). The color of a star therefore provides a measure of its intrinsic or true surface temperature (apart from the effects of reddening by interstellar dust, which will be discussed in Between the Stars: Gas and Dust in Space). Color does not depend on the distance to the object. This should be familiar to you from everyday experience. The color of a traffic signal, for example, appears the same no matter how far away it is. If we could somehow take a star, observe it, and then move it much farther away, its apparent brightness (magnitude) would change. But this change in brightness is the same for all wavelengths, and so its color would remain the same. Table 1. Example Star Colors and Corresponding Approximate Temperatures
Star Color Approximate Temperature Example
Blue 25,000 K Spica
White 10,000 K Vega
Yellow 6000 K Sun
Orange 4000 K Aldebaran
Red 3000 K Betelgeuse
Go to this interactive simulation from the University of Colorado to see the color of a star changing as the temperature is changed. The hottest stars have temperatures of over 40,000 K, and the coolest stars have temperatures of about 2000 K. Our Sun’s surface temperature is about 6000 K; its peak wavelength color is a slightly greenish-yellow. In space, the Sun would look white, shining with about equal amounts of reddish and bluish wavelengths of light. It looks somewhat yellow as seen from Earth’s surface because our planet’s nitrogen molecules scatter some of the shorter (i.e., blue) wavelengths out of the beams of sunlight that reach us, leaving more long wavelength light behind. This also explains why the sky is blue: the blue sky is sunlight scattered by Earth’s atmosphere.
Color Indices
In order to specify the exact color of a star, astronomers normally measure a star’s apparent brightness through filters, each of which transmits only the light from a particular narrow band of wavelengths (colors). A crude example of a filter in everyday life is a green-colored, plastic, soft drink bottle, which, when held in front of your eyes, lets only the green colors of light through. One commonly used set of filters in astronomy measures stellar brightness at three wavelengths corresponding to ultraviolet, blue, and yellow light. The filters are named: U (ultraviolet), B (blue), and V (visual, for yellow). These filters transmit light near the wavelengths of 360 nanometers (nm), 420 nm, and 540 nm, respectively. The brightness measured through each filter is usually expressed in magnitudes. The difference between any two of these magnitudes—say, between the blue and the visual magnitudes (B–V)—is called a color index. By agreement among astronomers, the ultraviolet, blue, and visual magnitudes of the UBV system are adjusted to give a color index of 0 to a star with a surface temperature of about 10,000 K, such as Vega. The B–V color indexes of stars range from −0.4 for the bluest stars, with temperatures of about 40,000 K, to +2.0 for the reddest stars, with temperatures of about 2000 K. The B–V index for the Sun is about +0.65. Note that, by convention, the B–V index is always the “bluer” minus the “redder” color. Why use a color index if it ultimately implies temperature? Because the brightness of a star through a filter is what astronomers actually measure, and we are always more comfortable when our statements have to do with measurable quantities.

how many nuetrons are in chlorine 37?
Answer:
18
Explanation:
An element with 17 protons will always be chlorine. However an element's mass numbers can vary, which means that it can have different numbers of neutrons. So although chlorine has a mass number of 35 which means it has 18 neutrons.
Georgia has many invasive species including the gypsy moth, kudzu, boll weevil, and tropical spiderwort. All of these have led to the destruction of many local ecosystems, and have cost Georgian's millions of dollars. What characteristic of Georgia makes it a place where invasive species often end up? A) more forest space than any other state B) shrinking population leaving room for other organisms to live C) the lack of a variety of species opens the door to invasive ones D) hundreds of miles of highway, a very large airport, and many ports for ships and cargo
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Invasive species are the non-native species in a particular area, society or environment causing more havoc than good. Invasive species are introduced into the environment through many means which might be intentional and which might not.
One of the reason behind the presence of invasive species in Georgia is to augment the native specie present in Georgia at that time for instance, one of the invasive species mentioned in the question that is "kudzu" was introduced to the environment in Georgia as specie for controlling erosion.
Although some invasive species were introduced into Georgia by mistake, some invasive species were also introduce because of the need for new Specie in the environment.

What is chromatography?
Chromatography is a separation technique used to separate components present in a mixture.It makes use of two phases the stationary phase and mobile phase .
Stationary phase is a phase in which the mixture components to be separated is loaded. Mobile phase is a phase which is run over the stationary phase so as to enables components of mixtures to separate.
Separation of components is based on the principle that components of mixture which are soluble in mobile phase travel large distances over stationary phase while those which are insoluble or less soluble travel less distances over stationary phase.
For every component which is separated, a Rf value can be calculated which is simply ratio distance traveled by solute divided by distance traveled by solvent front.

arrange 0.35 kilograms 9.4 grams and 5 grams to smallest to largest
Answer:
5 grams < 9.4 grams < 0.35 kilograms
Explanation:
Kilograms (Kg) and grams (g) are both units of measurement for MASS quantity. However, these units are not the same as they vary in magnitude. The kilograms is bigger unit of measurement than the grams. 1000grams makes 1kilograms.
According to this question, 0.35 kilograms 9.4 grams and 5 grams are to be arranged in ascending order i.e. from smallest to largest. First, we need to change all the units to the same.
We change 0.35kg to g
Since 1000g = 1kg
Then, 0.35kg = 0.35 × 1000
= 350g.
Rearranging the values, we have:
5 grams < 9.4 grams < 0.35 kilograms
